BosTox, Jan. al. Brooks, . Lincoln
farmer, while riding toward Lexington
carly yesterday morning, discovered IN
tho snow about two rods beyond the stone
wall ~ the aide OF tho road, the detached
head Of man. It's shock Of hair matted
with blood. II had apparently boon
chopped on with dull axe. Tho features
were contracted. ~ II the man had sur
fcrcd agony. just above and behind the
left car were several deep gashes two or
three inches long. The hair was short, thick
and brown; the forehead low; the nose
small and complexion medium. A few
feet away lay bare arm, small, but mus
cular, severed at the shoulder. The hand
appeared 70 BE- that Of . blacksmith.
Jumping into his pung. Mr.. Brooks drove
rapidly TO Lexington and notified the au-
thorities Of his discovery, which confirms
the suspicion. aroused by the finding Of the
bloody clothing In Lexington Tuesday,
that horrible murder had been com
United In the vicinity.
On receipt OF the information a reporter
and two other men visited the scene. They
found near the arm blood-besmeared
piece Of the Ersniag Record Of December
q which corresponds IN date and appear
ance 20 bloody piece Of the same paper
which was picked up Yesterday near the
bundle OF clothing The latter was so
used as a towel BY the murderer. A large
rubber horse cover had been thrown from
the road for the purpose ef concealing the
remains, but IL failed Of its purpose by
landing upon intervening bushes. There
was pool Of blood in the middle Of the
road.
The party followed the road for over a
mile 10 dcnsely wooded hill. On the left
OF this, in a deep gully, q naked, headless
body was found. Deep cuts in the hip and
forelcg indicated that the murderers had
severed the left limb as they had the right
which had been rudely chopped on at the
thigh. One arm was also missing from
the body and presumably was found with
the head down the road.
DR.. j. q. q. Filton. who led the party,
gave immediate instructions that no one
should touch the remains or approach too
near the place TO destroy such traces Of
the perpetrators OF the crime as might
exist. timetable OF the railroad be-
tween Somerville and Boston was found
in the murdered mans pocket: also a
ticket to Somerville. This leads the police
TO surmse that the man may have be-
longed 10 Cambridge, Somerville or
Boston. The left leg Of the body IL still
missing. The place where the body was
found Is very lonely one. The man
might have been murdered. chopped TO
pieces and thrown ont Of wagon without
danger Of observation.
A young man named Nowlan called upon
the Somerville police last evening and ex-
pressed his belief that the murdered man
was bis employer. George A. Goldman. a
milkman OF Somerville. Nowlan says
that Goldman drove away Tuesday morn
ing in sleigh with a young man whom he
addressed as Frank" and who was a
stranger to Nowlan. Goldman had collect
ed all the money he could. and told Now
Ian he did know when he should return.
Codman's clothes. as described by Now
Ian. correspond with those found with the
body. especially the mittens, which had
been mended with bed-ticking The po-
lice are confident that this clcw will lead
TO solution Of the murder.
A dispatch from Lexington states that
the body mas been fully identified as that
Of George A. C,dman, the Somerville
milkman. There il no clew 10 the muir
derer, nor has the team with which Cod
man and his companion left Somerville
been found. The money which Goldman
started with--about two hundred and fifty
d.llars-is gone.
